​About Us​

Woodland Voices is a fun singing group (or informal choir) for all abilities. There is no reading music, no homework, no auditions and we don’t work towards a concert (although casual appearances, flashmobs and busking are possibilities!).

You will be amazed to learn that many of our singers thought they could not sing, or were told as a child they could not sing, sometimes by a music teacher! You will soon learn that this is utter rubbish – every single person that comes to our group manages to sing in harmony with the others. There has never been an exception to this, although we occasionally find people need a little bit of help pitching – when they know the song well and are in their comfortable voice range, pitching is almost never a problem.

We sing ‘a Cappella’ – that means without any accompaniment – the songs are taught in three or four harmony parts so the rich sound is made entirely by voices!

Sessions start with a brief warm-up and an easy song, often a round, which we learn quickly to get singing in harmony straight away. Then we usually learn a new song, and sing one or two we’ve done before.

People come along mainly to have a good time and enjoy using their voice – people always say how good it makes them feel! There is no commitment – you are welcome to join us on a drop-in basis.Just bring a bottle of water and a sense of humour!
